I have been advised by pretty much everyone that I need to buy one. <BR/>Also I should probably point out ´Real´in spanish can also mean ´Royal´ as is the case with Real Oviedo, which is the name of the soccer team (Royal Oviedo). There´s also a Real Madrid which is pretty much the undisputed king of Spanish soccer if not all European soccer. They don´t have a draft system here like we do for most sports in the U.S. so the club with the most money typically can foot the bill for the best players in the world. That´s why you get powerhouses like Real Madrid, Barcelona, etc.Matt Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12887935041980085833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741126701055197882.post-47647425247316794832009-03-09T14:57:00.000-07:002009-03-09T14:57:00.000-07:00So the guy with the scarf was from France:) I tho...So the guy with the scarf was from France:) I thought he looked like he had that French sense of fashion thing going....

When you come to Buffalo Grove you'll think you're back in Oviedo :) <BR/>A.

That was the trip I took with the international students to Covadonga.<BR/>Classes are going fine...I´m still trying to get all the language differences down for Organic Chemistry. The concepts are the same though. <BR/>History of Asturias is boring but that´s mainly the Profesoras fault...<BR/>From what I´ve been told the Hooligans (those who riot at soccer games) are primarily drunken supporters of English teams. So I will keep a look out for that :)<BR/>I don´t spend too much time at the apartment... there´s not much to do there (no internet, tv with 7 channels), and my friends all live closer to the center of town. So usually I try to stay out and about most of the day.Matt Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12887935041980085833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741126701055197882.post-60600183469626825052009-03-08T16:26:00.000-07:002009-03-08T16:26:00.000-07:00Loved the pictures - the buildings are so colorful...Loved the pictures - the buildings are so colorful. Cool that you got to see a European soccer game - watch out for those riots! Sounds like you might be getting into it. Apartment looks cozy, but nice. Do you spend much time there during the day(when you're not siesta-ing)?<BR/>MarcyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741126701055197882.post-62739844903840126852009-03-08T16:24:00.000-07:002009-03-08T16:24:00.000-07:00The apartment looks nice - but that is a very narr...The apartment looks nice - but that is a very narrow hallway. I'm glad you have the monkey to keep you company:) The buildings look very new and modern. How are the classes going? Are your 2 friends in the picture the ones from France, Belgium, or are they Spaniards? MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
